EXPERIENCED Buddies hitman Thompson isn't ignoring Saturday's league clash with Dundee United but says he is using psychological techniques picked up over the years to make sure he is in the right frame of mind for next week's League Cup final.

THE Ibrox side has made contact with both the Tannadice club and the striker's agent over a potential switch and McCoist said they are looking at players 'whose contracts are up at the end of the season'.

THE funnyman fronted a six-hour show on BBC3 last night in which he quizzed a continuing roll call of guests for Comic Relief and asked 175 questions - a new Guinness world record during a TV chat show.
